Poslední dobou pozoruju, že málo čtu literaturu. Každý den sice přečtu mnoho textu z různých zpravodajských webů nebo vědeckých článků, ale knihu už jsem neměl v ruce dlouhou dobu.

Postupně začnu knihy číst. Chtěl bych maximum z nich přečíst v originálních jazycích, kterým bez problému rozumím (angličtina a němčina). U ostatních zvolím buď anglický nebo český překlad.
Knihy, které jsem už v minulosti četl, si přečtu znovu, protože si z nich moc nepamatuji. Budu aktualizovat tento seznam a také přidám widget do levého panelu. Snad mě to donutí aspoň pár knih přečíst
